8/10 Very good

In the heart of Old Town. Great location. Hotel was under renovation and the staff did their best to accommodate us. Room had been renovated, so very comfortable. Some quirky things during renovations with entry etc. No elevator and narrow steps to second floor. Very quiet room.

Under construction!

The hotel is under construction ….and it would have been helpful to know that prior to booking. Our room was already nicely renovated but the lobby was closed off and access to the elevator was around back of building. Not convenient! Staff was pleasant and helpful
